We have reached substantial completion for the 3rd Ave S and S Main St project! Neighbors and passersby may see some of our crew members in the area wrapping up a few finishing touches, but we don't expect any major restrictions or impacts. Thank you, Pioneer Square, for your patience while we delivered this project!
Come join us during the Pioneer Square Art Walk tomorrow (August 7) to celebrate the completion of our project. From 5 to 7pm, stop by the the new bus shelter to say hello, see photos of what this section of 3rd Ave looked like before our work, do some sidewalk art, and grab a quick bite courtesy of Saigon Drip Cafe. We can’t wait to see you there! Check out the photos below to see what we’ve accomplished.

We wanted to give a retrospective look at all the work that’s happened on 3rd to deliver this project. Check out the photos below:
A photo taken with a drone, showing 3rd Ave facing north from S Main St to Yesler Way. Cars are parked on the east side of the street and vehicles travel southbound down the patchy, bumpy street
A drone shot overhead, facing southbound down 3rd Ave from Yesler Way. An orange metal plate and safety cones surround an area where repaving is happening just south of Yesler
An overhead shot of 3rd and Main nearly completed, with our crews still working to construct the sidewalk. Orange safety cones are all over the area where the bus shelter will go
